In Version 10 you can have multiple templates in a document. Is there a way to get the names of those templates through VB?

  Hi gck,
  You can list name of templates in a document, by Format.UsedNames() command via ActiveX, when you control BarTender from VB.net.
  
  [code]
  'Declare a BarTender application variable'
  
  Dim btApp As BarTender.Application
  
  'Declare a BarTender document variable
  
  Dim btFormat As New BarTender.Format
  
  'Create a new instance of BarTender
  
  btApp = new BarTender.Application
  
  'Set the BarTender application visible '
  
  btApp.Visible = True
  
  'Open a BarTender document '
  
  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\Format1.btw", False, "")
  
  'Show a list of template names on the template(s)'
  
  MessageBox.Show(btFormat.UsedNames(BarTender.BtNameType.btUsedTemplateFields), ":")
  
  'End the BarTender process '
  
  btApp.Quit(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges)
  
  [/code]
  
  Or do you mean, VB Script in BarTender document?

  Ok, hope the above helps. unfortunately I couldn't find how to specify / enable template from ActiveX, you need to use Template Selector or Enable when True condition, of BarTender's page setup > Template.

  I am trying just to get the label template names from the document since that is a field in my database. I am using .NET Print SDK to open the documents. It looks like the SDK doesn't have properties to get to template names. By the above code will I have to use ActiveX to get to the label template property?

  You right, Template names are not aviailable from .net SDK at the moment.
